My question is, can I buy an aftermarket manual shift boot and install it on my automatic 99 accord? Will I have to do some customizing to my shift plate (the plastic around the shifter)? Here is an idea of what I want: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-02...spagenameZWDVW

Yeh those are newer style accords 03-05, mine is a 99. Thanks for looking though. I will ask them how they swap theirs.

 

I have a manaul boot on my auto, I still have to kinda trim it down but it looks good as is for now.


what I did is I just removed the plastic frame around the shifter then placed the boot around the shifter housing itself. Then I placed the plastic frame back on for extra support to hold the boot down. If you do this, make sure that the boot itself isnt blocking the shifter itself from shifting all the way down from 1 - P, because when I placed mine on the first time and tried shifting it in place, I couldnt take the key out because the boot kinda blocked the thing from shifting to park all the way. Easy fix is to just tugg the boot around until everything works properly (tug top half of the boot to move it from blocking the gap between the shifter and the shifter housing)
